How to: First, start a franchise, then play your season all the way to game 17 (17 with by week). Next, to find out who is getting the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd pick of the first round you simply go to the menu, the select standings. Whichever of the three teams has the worst record will have the 1st, 2nd and 3rd pick of the first round. Next, go to Trade Player. Select your 1st round draft pick of the first round. Find the team that you seen had the worst record. You should be able to get there 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks. Select the next team who has the 2nd worst record and trade your two 2nd round picks and you should be able to get their 1st round pick. Next, select the team with the 3rd worst record (remember you will only be able to do this three times because you run out of trades). Select your 3rd, 3rd and 4th round pick and you should be able to get their 1st round pick. Lets summarize:

There is a way to go offsides without being penalized. Go to settings in pause menu go to game rules highlight offsides decrease it to 0 and you will not get call for offsides this works 100% of the time

In a fantasy draft, a man named Mr. Everything is the worst kicker (and player) in the game. He has 0 accuracy and 0 kick power but everything else is 99. draft him and change to any position for a 99 overall!

In Madden NFL 09 go to Rosters then go to Free Agents and go to NFL Greats and sign Barry Sanders and Walter Payton to any team of your choice then go to Quick Game and make the game settings, Pro, Hardcore, and Unlimited Replays. You'll get a lot more touchdowns and you'll be winning by a lot of points. More than the time the Chicago Bears played the Green Bay Packers in 1935 and beat them 73-0! Trust me, I've done it before.

Pause when your team is in offense the press x,x,square,o,xx,square then go back to the game and you can dive from your end zone to the other side of the field.(you can only do this when you are with your hb.
ok!
please enjoy
